The world is facing a severe food crisis caused by war tactics that unlawfully use starvation. In recent conflicts, armed forces bomb civilian infrastructure without distinction, worsening the situation. They also block humanitarian aid, leaving many without food and medical help.
These actions mirror medieval sieges where populations were deliberately starved. Such tactics are violations of international law and cause immense suffering to innocent people. The global community is challenged to address these crimes and protect civilians.
The rising use of starvation in warfare demands urgent attention from international legal bodies to:
- Ensure accountability for perpetrators
- Prevent further humanitarian disasters
- Safeguard the rights and lives of affected populations
